The Act protects the title and style of "Architect" for registered architects and gives statutory preference to registered architects for architect posts, yet it does not prohibit non-registered persons from performing architectural functions. On that basis, recruitment rules allowing promotion of non-architects to a post involving architectural work were not invalid merely for repugnancy. However, the designation "Assistant Architect" cannot lawfully be used for a post held by a person who is not a registered architect, and registered architects must be given statutory preference for such appointments. en-us Tue, 02 Aug 2005 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 27 Apr 2018 18:00:12 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=200850 Service rules prescribing qualifications remain within the State's policy domain, but they cannot conflict with the Architects Act, 1972.
